1t Seems to Take.

Yesterday we advertised cut in our
remnant of Plush Goods, and during the
day had more buyers for this class of goods
than any other day, excepting the few days
preceding Xmas This is easily accounted
for by the fact that AN announcement of a
cut from our well-known low prices means
almost as much of a surprise TO the public
as would the announcement that Savannah
was going to have a hotel or post Office
Now. while we believe in at first making
a low price on goods and then sticking to it,
the rainy weather few days before Xmas,
left us with a remnant of goods unsold,
which, rather than put away for another
year, we offer at prices regardless of cost,
to close out entire stock of Holiday Goods
this we mean, and first come get best So

DIED AWAY FROM HOME.
A YOUNG NORTH CARoLINIAN'S
FATAL FALL FROM A TRAIN.

Joseph Boulin Killed at Bloomingdale
on the Central Railroad-He Falls
from Car Platform and is Fatally
Injured-T Trying to Reach His Family.
On the west bound Central passenger
train yesterday morning was young white
man who occupied next to the last seat in
the rear coach. He had boarded the train
at Pooler, handed Conductor Storey ticket
for Halcyondale, and instead of quietly oc-
cupying his seat attracted the attention of
all the passengers by constantly getting up
and walking to the rear door of the car, and
out upon the platform.
Immediately behind the young man sat
Mr.. Howell, of Davishoro, who, suffering
from the constant cold draughts coming
through the open door demonstrated with
the nervous passenger. This had the effect
of making the young man resume his seat,
which he kept until the train approached
BloominSdale. When the engineer blew the
signal for that station the young man
jumped up and ran out upon the platform
again.
Conductor Wolf, of the east-bound
through freight, was on the platform of his
cab. His train was standing on the side
track He saw the man as he stepped out
of the door, and it seemed as If he was look
ing for some one. 1t was the impression of
Conductor Wolf that the young man fell off
the platform Others say that he jumped
off At any rate he struck a wood rack and
fell to the ground, where he remained, with
a cut in his head.
IL was not until the passenger train had
stopped at the station that the trainmen
knew of the accident that had happened a
few rods back They returned and found
Mr.. Joseph b. Boulin, who keeps small
store at Pooler
Conductor Storey thought that Boulin
was from Savannah, as his ticket read from
Savannah to Halcyondale. The Shoe Fly
train was due in few minutes, and when
it arrived the wounded man was put aboard
and started to Savannah. The train had
gone but a few miles when he died. The
body was brought on here, and when 1t
arrived Supt. Hege ordered it sent to Dix
on's undertaking establishment and immedi-
ately set about tracing the mans relatives.
None could be found at Pooler, he having
lived there but short time, but letters in
the dead mans pockets indicated that bis
parents live at Osgood, Chatham county,
North Carolina.
Supt. Hege Immediately telegraphed there,
but as Osgc cd is some distance from tele-
graph Office he had received no response to
his inquiries up to late last night. In the
meantime the body is at Dixon's under
taking rooms, where 1t has been dressed
and prepared for burial. II nothing is
heard from his parents by 4 o'clock this
afternoon the Central railroad authorities
will have the remains properly inferred
here

Our Game Law.

Editor Morning NelOs; The attention of
every true sportsman is called to our game
law. As it is now there is really no protec-
ton for game in this county. The writer,
who has had every opportunity of observ-
ing, has been painfully reminded of this
fact. 1t is great wonder we have any
game at ALL The law should be very strictly
and rigidly enforced on all parties caught
trapping or shooting game out of season.
1t is almost impossible to go out for days
sport without finding traps set for birds In
this way whole coveys are destroyed. Where
is our game law, and whose place is it to
see that it is properly enforced! Sportsmen
should look into this matter with serious
c onsideration. SPORTSMAN.
